the golden era between the end of world war ii when ronald reagan took office and i was born we had this period of time where income rose in tandem where there was a smaller ceo pay and worker pay where labor unions were strong and trade rules benefited and were conscious of the livelihood of the producers that were being exploited. all of that has changed in a way that has created fundamental economic insecurity for most americans. we now have two parents working and able to create less security than one parent was able to create on his own degeneration ago. we have people going into the work force without the security that they had with attendant work and contract work so i challenge a little bit this idea that what we need to do is maybe spend a little bit now on short-term spending but then spend less than we have been now because of our long term deficit. it seems to me like we are actually going to do a lot more to put the american people on sound footing. we have to make college debt free again and make universal child care because both parents are working and it seems to me that
